        Overall

        Amazing, caring and invested staff! Our little bit has been going there for about 6 months and we have seen so much growth! From the Holiday program to the different lesson plans, kids are engaged, feel cared for and are learning. Really love the sense of community the center has and how well structured and organized it is.
